Cisco Systems to dismiss 1300 employees

"Cisco System" Inc. je najavio da će u narednom periodu biti otpušteno oko 1.300 zaposlenih.

To čini oko 2% zaposlenih kompanije, a do novih otpuštanja dolazi par meseci nakon što je "Cisco" upozorio da ekonomske prilike utiču loše na njihovo poslovanje, prenosi agencija AP.

- Redovno analiziramo naše poslovanje kako bismo videli treba li uskladiti investicije sa mogućnostima rasta - navodi se u zvaničnom saopštenju iz kompanije.

"Cisco" je prošle godine otpustio 10.000 zaposlenih kao deo programa kojim želi da uštedi milijardu dolara godišnje.

Nije pricizirano koje sektore će nova otpuštanja zahvatiti.

U poslednjem kvartalu, "Cisco" je prijavio profit od 2,2 milijarde dolara i ukupne prihode od 11,6 milijardi.

Cisco System Inc. announced that in the following period some 1300 staff will be dismissed.

This figure makes some 2% of the total staff number. New lay-offs start a few months after Cisco warned economic situation has negative impact on their business, as AP agency wrote.

- We analyze regularly our business in order to see if we should align our investments with growth opportunities – it was said in the company official statement.

Last year, Cisco fired 10.000 staff as a part of the program that would save them a billion dollars a year.

It has not been defined which departments would face new job losses.

In the last quarter, Cisco claimed profit of 2.2 billion dollars and total income of 11.6 billion.
